Buy the Book

As a child, I was an insatiable reader.Before I was 10, I had my own set of hard-bound classics and my face was often buried in one. I could scarcely put it down at the dinner table.

This continued in my teens and twenties. On the weekends, it was not unusual for me to read 10 more pages, another chapter and since it's 4:17 with only 23 pages left so why not just finish the book before 5 a.m.

In my thirties, my weekly treat was a pot of fresh coffee with heavy cream on hand and being left alone to savor the Sunday Los Angeles Times. Saving the Parade magazine for last of course.I had a giant -- it must have been a good 3" thick and 15" x 17" -- dictionary purchased for $5 from a garage sale.It sat on my living room floor and I'd flip to random pages fascinated by whatever entries were found.

You will look like your icon, carrying a book. ;) It is practically practical, there are 8 slots for cards and a zippered compartment. Many times more room than the magazine clutch, but I know that's a low standard to set.

It might be weeks before you see the gold metallic fur, it was 92F today!

BOOK 'EM...Oh no (yes), Tiffany Rose, you may have done it. I withstood my own bookishness, DBP's pre-Paris obsession and WMM's holiday shopping. But now I read all about Modern English looking so discreet and leather-y, my clicky fingers are kicking into overdrive. Santa? Say you'll be mine.

Hi GetFresh. Oh yes, would you believe I'd considered Book 'em as a post title? I hope Santa is good to you, have you been good and not naughty? You will be asked why you're carrying around such a nice dictionary, discreet indeed.

These clutches make me laugh, they are such fun. It looks well-made and I love how you've paired it up with the gold and animal print. Kind of a sexy librarian vibe going on. Or maybe that's the inner voice of my husband talking. LOL

Oh my gosh I love this clutch, it's so perfect and also perfect for you.I think one of these clutches would be just the thing for going out to dinner, you could just place your book on the table. Brilliant really.Thanks for sharing it with us.

I have to wait until it gets cool enough, we're still having summer! The gold fur makes me think of a matted stuffed animal that has been spray painted. But it's soft. It's a little crazy but has that ever stopped me?

I do like the look of that and would really suit you!. I was a total bookworm as a kid (not really a girly swat though, I never did my homework) and now I've divorced myself from Netflix I have returned to reading loads of books a week. Gone Girl, my last one was fantastic.

I did just enough homework but I read everything in sight, including cereal boxes and scraps of newspaper. I have to get back to my childhood, I suppose. I think you could have loads of fun with this dictionary clutch.
